When Texas won the Nat'l Title I wanted to punch the TV. B/c my team Texas A&M played Texas the closest until that Nat'l Title game. We lost to Texas 28-40
still an awesome game tho.

Forgetting a name, blowing a call, hesitating, whatever -- everyone makes mistakes. Vic Stauffer is a professional and he knows his craft.

He may be one of the worst racecallers in the history of the game, I would bring him and Battagalia to the wire together.

Honestly, to me they come to the wire together. Both brutal

I was in Gulfstream before Vic got fired and he couldnt even call his car to the valet right. Guy came back with the wrong vehicle

Bad, good even great race calls are not responsible for loosing or winning bets.
Up the backside, sting me with the whip? Go to a pornographic site.
This is horse racing.
